I ordered black leather tributes back in June from Saks during whatever sale was going on. They were backordered at the beginning of the sale with the estimated ship date of November. I just received shipment notification! I think it is the strangest thing to have a pair of shoes on sale that are backordered for months. They were $532 before tax. Worth the wait for the price right?
Can someone quickly tell me what the different heel heights are in the trib sandals?? What's the highest heel height? I think the the chunky toe platform only looks balanced and sleek at the highest heel possible....

^The stock photo looks like the higher heel height, but am I correct in saying that the seller's pics look like the lower heel height? Or am I just blind to my computer screen?

The highest heel is 140 mm (5.5 inches). I think the low heeled version is 75 mm. Maybe ask the seller how high the heel is?
definitely the higher heels. low-heel trib sandals don't have T-straps at the center
So only the 140mms have the T-strap? Is that a good distinguishing factor I can use when I'm looking on Ebay, etc since the sellers don't normally list such details? As you can tell from my siggy, I have been on a hunt for these shoes forever and I just now think I have the money for them! Hoping to score a pair before the new year.
Also how versatile do you guys think the red leather pair are? Black can be so boring but I don't want to spend $$$ on a color that will only match with a few outfits.

I have them in red and I LOVE them....and get so many compliments! FYI-I'm a 38 street size and the 38.5 just fits me (probably need a 39, but I can get away w/it!). Also, make sure you authenticate when buying from ebay/bonz
GL!btw-LOVE the saying in your signature!!

Thanks for the info and the compliment about my siggy
I'm an 8.5 usually but in sandals I need 39/9 because I have long toes and you know us TPFers...we are very anti-overhang! hahaI will make sure to post in the authenticate thread before I buy..I've read WAY too many horror stories in the Ebay subforum!
hello I was wondering if any of you wonderful ladies could help me? Im dying to see a picture of the tributes in silver or metallic silver (if theres a difference), the online photo makes them look really dark and I really would like this shoes for my wedding but we dont have a YSL store here in Sydney and im desprate to see the true colour before I take the risk of them not matching my dress! sorry to post in here I didnt no where else to post this! LoVe YoU! xx
yes, re T-straps... if black, i luv the patent. otherwise, in plain leather, red would be a nice pop against a neutral outfit! assuming you already have a good number of black shoes too.
The only color close to silver I've seen is a darker pewter color, it is beautiful, and it is sort of a crackled color. Maybe they made it in a lighter silver for somewhere outside the US market, but I personally haven't seen any.
does anyone have a pair of the lower black patent 2010 sandals? I'm eyeing these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330483884788&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT but dont know if they look good, any thoughts?
